Description
Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - Live Broadcast - April 10, 2018
A
So
our
journey
to
America
project
is
funded
by
the
Eleanor
Lane
law
grant
and
we
have
a
process
every
year
that
we
follow.
We
do
the
process
that's
listed
above.
We
do
modeling
and
we
address
mental
health
issues
when
we
first
start
speaking
about
our
stories-
and
we
read
other
stories
that
we
see
for
immigration
and
our
past
stories
as
well.
A
I
bring
in
community
speakers
into
the
classroom,
a
refugee
and
immigrants
that
tell
their
story
to
help
get
the
students,
understanding
that
it's
okay
to
tell
their
story
and
that
it
should
be
celebrated,
and
last
year,
I
added
or
this
year,
I
added
imagine
thriving
into
the
classroom,
and
this
is
a
mental
health
organization
that
talks
a
lot
about.
It's
okay
worth
my
students.
She
talked
about
it's
okay.
To
tell
your
story:
it's
okay!
Those
feelings
are
gonna,
come
up
and
how
to
deal
with
those
feelings
and
some
resources
for
them.
A
We
did
a
narrative
for
exchange,
which
is
an
amazing
exchange.
This
year,
I
just
became
a
facilitator
in
March
for
this,
and
we
for
the
narrative,
for
we
had
a
senior
English
class,
which
was
mostly
Native
students
and
my
students,
and
they
did
an
exchange
with
story,
is
a
little
snippet
from
their
life
and
then
they
had
to
retell
it
in
first
person
the
next
day,
and
so
that
was
a
little
fun
addition
to
get
us
thinking
about
stories.
A
Here's
some
awesome
celebrations
that
we've
had
we've
been
published
in
many
magazines,
we've
been
on
the
radio
we've
been
on
TV
we've
gone
to
nursing
homes,
we've
gone
to
other
schools,
including
West
Fargo,
and
so
just
some
amazing
things,
and
a
really
amazing
thing
is
aleem
who's.
Here
with
me
today
and
two
other
students
went
to
the
State
Capitol
and
they
read
their
stories
and
they
testified
against
the
refugee
bill
that
was
going
to
ban
refugees
coming
into
North
Dakota,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
a
neat
thing
for
them
to
do
as
well.
A
So
then,
from
that
project
last
year
stemmed
our
green
card
youth
voices
project-
and
this
is
a
book
that
we
are
still
promoting-
we
have
a
reading
tomorrow
in
mikvah
North
Dakota.
If
you're
interested
it's
a
hundred
miles
away,
I
had
no
idea
where
it
was,
but
Elena's
also
an
awkward
are
going
to
that.
Then
there's
one
this
Saturday
at
mell,
Berg's,
Christian
bookstore
in
Moorhead.
So
if
you're
interested
I
can
get
you
more
information
on
that.
So
they've
been
reading
these
stories
all
across
North
Dakota
and
here's
a
picture
of
our
youth
summit.
A
We
had
March
23rd
to
the
25th
I
took
17
of
our
authors
to
Minneapolis,
and
we
joined
the
st.
Paul
in
Minneapolis
authors
as
well,
and
they
put
on
a
huge
Youth
Summit
bringing
in
immigrant
and
Refugee
leaders
from
around
the
United
States.
We
met
at
Target
Field
and
we
had
it
all
to
ourselves
and
we
had
a
private
tour.
We
did
the
Minneapolis
a
Science
Museum
and
the
book
loft,
and
so
we
had
an
amazing
time.
A
They
learned
about
public
speaking
techniques,
they
learned
about
leadership,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
a
very
fun
thing
for
the
students
to
do.
These
are
some
outcomes
that
we've
had,
as
you
can
see,
we've
had
some
scholastic
art
and
writing.
Award
winners.
We
participated
in
act
up
cabaret
in
December
with
the
community
theater
and
Jim.
Shaw
will
write
an
article
soon
about
us
and
one
of
the
neat
things
is.
My
students
noticed
that
the
North
Dakota
tourism
campaign
really
didn't
have
a
lot
of
diversity
in
it.
A
So
when
they
were
promoting
North
Dakota,
and
so
they
made
a
little
video
and
they
invited
the
North
Dakota
tourism
campaign
and
mostly
Josh
Duhamel.
You
know
to
North
Dakota
to
come
back
and
she
actually
come
into
our
classroom
so
that
we
can
share
stories
and
they
also
wanted
to
volunteer
themselves
to
be
in
any
campaigns
and
they
responded
Josh
didn't
yet,
but
he
will.
A
They
responded
and
they're
gonna
come
April
16th
at
11
o'clock,
and
they
are
going
to
talk
about
featuring
our
students
in
their
ad
campaigns
to
promote
North
Dakota,
and
so
this
is
some
project
additions
for
next
year.
We
would
like
to
we're
gonna,
actually
partner,
with
Concordia
and
NDSU,
to
do
two
public
readings.
I
am
going
to
add
poetry
and
songs
or
songs
into
the
book
with
each
of
the
students
stories.
I
met
Lula
Saleh,
who
is
an
amazing
musician.
A
An
african-american
woman
in
Minneapolis
and
she's
gonna
come
and
work
with
the
students,
and
then
we're
also
going
to
take
it
further
and
we're
going
to
have
the
students
create
a
canvas
painting
of
their
story,
depicting
the
emotions
from
their
story
and
we're
gonna
work
with
the
plains,
Art
Museum
to
do
that
and
then
we're
gonna
continue
our
mental
health.
So
there's
some
extensions
for
next
year,
so
I
want
to
get
to
the
good
stuff.
A
So
this
is
Alina
was--a
and
she
is
going
to
read
her
story
called
finally
over
there
just
reading
a
little
snippet
their
story,
because
their
stories
are
originally
about
ten
minutes
long.
So
there's
gonna
be
a
little
snippet.
She
was
born
in.
She
was
raised
in
Burundi,
Rwanda
and
Kenya,
and
she
came
to
the
US
on
March
16th
2015.
She
came
with
her
family
and
four
of
her
sisters
and
brother
and
her
mother,
Elena's
11th
grade
is
in
11th
grade
at
Fargo
South
High
School.
She
is
a
soccer
player.
A
She
speaks
five
languages,
Kira
Wandy,
Q,
Swahili,
English,
Chioma,
Lengai
and
French,
and
in
the
future
she
would
like
to
go
to
college
and
become
a
social
worker
and,
as
you
can
see,
she's
also
in
JROTC
and
she's
in
leadership
for
North
Dakota,
she's
she's,
an
everything
so
no
further
ado.
Here's
the
lien.
B
Okay,
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
and
I
appreciate.
Master
is
called
finally
over
bang-bang
all
froze
in
fear.
We
were
studying
all
night
prayers
when
we
had
gunshots
gotcha
rooms
in
hide.
My
mom
yelled,
my
first
sisters
and
I
quickly
went
to
the
bedroom
and
sat
on
the
bed
help
help
someone
yelled
from
outside
I
need
to
help
them.
My
dad
pleaded
with
my
mother
don't
go.
We
also
need
you
here,
my
mother
in
replied
in
a
scared
voice.
It
was
August
13th
2004.
B
B
We
hope
that
there
will
there
will
not
be
any
more
bloodshed
of
our
people.
We
were
being
chased
out
of
a
country
because
their
tribe
members
rejected
us.
Since
we
were
not
the
part
of
the
tribe.
In
a
period
of
less
than
2
and
1/2
hours,
one
more
than
166
people
were
killed.
My
father
told
us
to
go
to
the
neck
to
go
outside
and
find
a
way
to
go
to
the
next
camp.
Well,
he
was
helping
those
who
were
wounded.
B
We
started
running
and
in
a
blink
of
an
eye
we
had
a
gunshot
and
we
all
stopped.
We
looked
back
and
it
was
my
father.
He
had
been
shot.
My
mother
wanted
to
go
back
and
check
on
him
by
he
what
but
she
wasn't
strong
enough
to
do
so.
My
caring
eldest
sister
went
back
to
see
if
he
was
still
breathing.
My
sisters
and
I
eventually
followed
her
and
quickly
by
surprise.
We
found
him
breathing
my
father
started
talking
to
us,
then
suddenly,
one
of
the
aggressive
aggressive
soldiers
came
and
pushed
us
away
from.
B
My
dad
report
gives
gas
on
his
body
and
lay
him
on
fire
right
in
front
of
us
as
we
all
cried.
Let's
kill
them
when
one
one
of
the
soldiers
told
each
other,
it
disagreed
about
something
but
eventually
left
us.
They
crying
for
help.
My
father's
body
eventually
turn
into
ash.
There
was
nothing
more
left
for
us
to
do
by
to
bury
we
left
to
look
for
my
mother
and
I.
Don't
know
on
our
way
we
made
the
UN
and
Red
Cross
workers
were
coming
to
help
those
who
were
one
day.
B
We
tried
to
run
away
from
them
because
we
thought
they
were
the
enemies.
Stop
the
we
here
to
help
you
they
kind
of
kindly
yelled
toward
us.
Let's
go
my
sister
suggested.
We
went
back
with
them
and
they
asked
us
some
personal
questions.
It
wasn't
until
in
the
morning
that
that
we
saw
my
mother
again
and
she
had
completely
lost
how
she
thought
that
we
were
killed
to
be
continued.
Thank
you.
A
Roshan
guru
is
a
senior
at
Fargo
South,
High
School.
He
came
to
the
US
when
he
was
15
years
old
from
paw
three
refugee
camp.
He
came
with
his
grandma
mom
and
two
brothers.
He
speaks
three
languages:
Nepali
English
and
a
little
bit
of
Hindi.
He
plays
soccer
for
Fargo
South
High
School,
his
favorite
subjects
are
math
and
history.
He
wants
to
become
a
theologist
and
a
musician
in
the
future.
Roshan.
C
Many
years
of
his
struggle,
it
was
2014
when
we
took
a
plane
to
America
in
the
plane.
We
asked
for
food
and
they
brought
us
food,
but
it
wasn't
good
yeah.
It
wasn't
good.
It
was
very
different
than
what
I
was
used
to
so
I
didn't
even
eat
for
a
day
in
our
culture.
If
your
parents
cooked
food
for
you,
but
you
didn't
like
it,
your
parents
would
probably
say
I
have
provided
food
for
you
guys
if
you
like
it,
it
otherwise
you'll
be
hungry.
C
So
we
went
hungry
in
the
morning
we
arrived
in
Fargo
the
next
day.
I
had
to
restart
my
school
I
didn't
even
know
and
I
didn't
even
understand
what
I
was
learning
there
and
what
I
was
learning
there.
I
was
confused
and
nervous.
The
first
day
went
fine,
but
the
next
day
was
so
embarrassing
when
I
was
in
the
study
hall
class
I
wanted
to
go
to
the
bathroom,
but
I
knew
zero.
English
I
walked
up
to
the
teacher
and
said
me
toilet.
C
C
Finally,
there
was
a
one
girl
who
asked:
can
I
go
to
the
bathroom
and
teacher?
Let
her
go
I
wonder
what
does
bathroom
mean
I
thought
ever
the
world
bathroom
in
my
head,
bathroom
bathroom
like
that
and
after
20
minutes,
when
I
felt
confident
to
say
that
so
I
asked
my
study
hall
teacher
to
go
to
the
bathroom.
Oh
you
mean
bathroom,
yes,
you
may
she
told
me,
oh
man,
it's
finally
see,
let
me
go
to
the
bathroom
yeah.
It
was
long
journey
from
Nepal
to
America.
C
D
D
D
E
First
of
all,
it's
that
is
absolutely
a
most
amazing
presentation
that
we
just
saw
from
those
students
and
that
teacher
I
just
can't
even
get
over
it.
I
have
to
follow
that
now
so
I'm
going
to
struggle
with
this,
what
I
would
want
to
say
straightforward
communication
to
the
board
as
a
reports,
but
I
think
it
said
that
sets
the
tone
for
this
community
outreach
and
partnership,
everything
that
that
she
just
described
in
those
students
experience
we're
about
community
outreach
and
partnerships
and
their
life
will
be
better
for
it.
E
So
that's
our
business
and
it's
very
rewarding
in
the
middle
of
it.
All
I
want
to
thank
the
IT
department
of
Fargo
public
schools.
Bill
West
Rick
is
always
on
top
of
everything.
How's
powerpoints
ready.
You
always
have
everything
ready
for
me
to
go
they're
always
here
to
support,
and
I
truly
appreciate
it.
It's
seamless
so
thanks
to
the
IT
folks
as
well.
E
Moving
on
the
goal
in
in
our
in
the
Fargo
public
schools
district
is
to
set
out
a
strategic
plan
and
follow
that
plan
and
measure
the
results.
Well,
one
of
the
areas
that
we
are
focusing
on
tonight
is
on
your
community
outreach
strategic
initiative,
five
and
it
will
be
goals
four
and
five
that
I'll
be
visiting
a
little
bit
about
in
our
world
in
Career
and
Technical
Education,
like
I
said,
you
just
saw
the
lens
of
community
partnerships
and
outreach
from
the
e
AL
side.
E
My
lens
will
be
the
Career
and
Technical
Education
side,
and
so
my
focus
will
be
on
sharing
a
little
story
about
advisory
committees.
The
work
experiences
that
we
focus
on
how
real-world
projects
are
relevant
to
what
we
do
in
our
curriculum
classrooms.
Business
partnerships
and
some
adventures
were
working
on
now
and
some
ideas
that
we
have
moving
forward
and
then
also
the
real
important
post-secondary
connections.
We
are
trying
to
make
as
we
move
forward
from
secondary
to
post-secondary.
E
E
The
areas
of
career
and
Tech
Ed
that
we
find
really
important
are
the
idea
that
students
find
relevance
and
exploration
and
career
preparation
through
these
experiences.
At
times
people
feel
like,
maybe
there
are
a
little
more
expense
to
operate
because
we
have
high
tech
labs.
But
when
we
look
at
it
it
incorporates
those
21st
century
skills,
project-based
learning
and
real
world
experiences
that
we
are
trying
to
transcend
through
all
of
our
curriculums.
We
know
that
students
that
participate
in
CTE
have
a
higher
graduation
rate,
so
that's
important
for
us
as
a
district.
E
We
also
know
that
career-tech
is
for
all
students,
and
sometimes
we
have
a
tendency
to
say
that
it's
for
those
students,
but
we
really
want
all
students
to
experience
and
explore
it's
a
two
plus
two
plus
two,
depending
on
their
career
pathways.
Workforce
skills
are
important
and,
of
course,
we
want
students
to
be
able
to
have
some
idea
of
what
they
want
to
do
upon
graduation
so
that
we
can
save
some
money
for
parents
and
students
as
they
move
forward
in
their
careers.
E
So
that's
the
reason
why
and
some
of
the
areas
and
characteristics
when
we
think
of
career
tech,
ed
I'll
focus
on
advisory
committees
in
a
minute,
but
just
to
kind
of
go
back
to
the
important
pieces.
We
want
high
quality,
CTE
programs
at
Fargo,
public
schools
and
those
come
through
thinking
of
career
pathways,
having
teachers
that
are
prepared,
applying
academics,
the
projects,
the
partnerships,
the
resources
in
the
labs,
and
we
move
down
to
our
career
ready
experiences.
So
it's
not
just
about
technical
skills.
It's
also
about
soft
skills
and
those
hard
skills
in
life.
E
The
curriculum
is
a
foundation,
as
I
said
earlier.
We
even
though
we
partnership
with
our
businesses,
we
go
back
to
the
standards
we
talked
about.
What
do
we
want
our
students
to
know
and
be
able
to
do?
How
will
we
determine
that?
They
know
what
they're
doing
and
what
do
we?
What
will
we
do
if
they
don't
and
that's
really
important
for
us
to
me
that
integrity
and
we
continue
to
work
with
that
industry,
cadential
czar
a
little
bit
different
in
our
area,
because
we
have
students
that
can
complete
their
CNA,
maybe
an
OSHA
certification.
E
E
We
are
required
for
each
of
our
career
tech
programs
to
have
an
advisory
committee
and
they
are
required
to
meet
a
minimum
of
twice
a
year
to
set
goals
and
programs
and
and
determine
what
they
can
do
to
ensure
that
curriculum
aligns
with
industry
needs.
In
this
example,
in
a
picture
this
is
just
one
program.
We
have
our
construction
staff
and
we
started
out
when
I
was
first
here,
that
it
was
Fargo.
E
Public
and
West
Fargo
had
their
separate
construction
committees
and
they
were
kind
of
limping
along
and
but
they
all
needed
to
support,
and
they
all
had
the
same
questions
and
since
I
was
working
across
both
districts.
I
said
you
know,
let's
create
some
efficiency
here,
not
only
for
you
as
teachers,
but
a
mechanism
for
learning
and
also
for
our
business
partners
that
were
tapping
into
to
attend.
So
instead
having
four
meetings,
and
now
we
have
two
meetings
and
from
that
at
this
table,
you
can
see
that
we
have.
E
You
know
representation
from
roars,
m-state,
h,
ba
HB
c,
our
instruction
teachers
assignments
and
lumber
people
that
we
work
with
and
sitting
on
these
meetings
and
what
happens
through
this
process?
Is
they
help
us
advise
us
and
what
what
is
happening
in
their
current
industry?
How
can
they
assist
us
one
of
the
big
project
that
we
were
struggling
with?
If
you
see
the
house
on
the
lower
right,
it's
located
on
1406,
16th
and-a-half
street
over
by
fargo,
south
and
the
city
had
the
empty
lot.
The
city
had
a
need
for
a
house.
E
We
had
a
need
to
build
the
house
close
to
Fargo
South.
Our
struggle
was
we
needed
to
have
a
garage
built
before
school
started
to
put
our
tools
in.
We
also
needed
the
basement
built
so
that
the
students
could
build
the
house
we
kind
of
struggled
because
we
didn't
have
the
funds
to
do
the
whole
project,
but
because
of
our
partnership
with
HPA
and
HPC,
we
went
to
them
and
we
said
well.
E
How
can
we
make
this
work,
and
so,
together,
what
we
did
is
in
the
summer
the
her
Deena
Academy
from
m-state
they
came
over
and
they
built
the
garage.
We
didn't
have
enough
money
to
build
the
garage
but
HPC
and
HP
care
and
all
the
construction
companies
donated
around
twelve
thousand
dollars
to
get
that
project
done.
So
now
we
had
the
garage,
it
was
a
real
experience
for
the
summer
school
session.
E
Our
students
came
in
and
we
had
the
foundation
built
by
a
company,
and
then
our
students
built
the
house,
and
so
it
was
just
this
powerful
project
for
our
students
in
our
community,
and
it
just
shows
what
you
can
do
when
you
work
together.
So
that's
an
example
of
how
we
work
with
our
advisory
committees.
What's
really
important
to
to
know
is
not
only
do
we
have
our
staff
ask
volunteers
to
come
and
help
us
design
our
curriculum.
E
One
of
the
challenges
with
our
current
model
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
this
picture
again
on
that
committee,
two
of
those
members,
one
retired,
and
one
moved
on
to
a
new
job
so
with
advisory
committees.
If
you
only
focus
on
the
person,
you
can
lose
the
integrity
of
the
committee.
So
one
of
the
goals
that
I
have
in
working
forward
with
our
community
is:
how
do
we
look
at
the
bigger
picture,
which
is
called
sector
partnerships
and
next
generation?
Where
we
look
at
the
larger
organizations
themselves
so
focusing
on
HPA?
E
We
can
sustain
the
next
person
that
came
in
if
we
focus
on
tech
ND
instead
of
Microsoft,
when
Microsoft
staff
turnover,
we
can
focus
on
all
of
the
tech
industries.
So
that's
what
we're
will
be
working
on
now
through
our
committees
is
how
do
we
find
the
large
organ
so
when
individuals
move
on
the
organization's
still
support
the
schools
as
well,
so
that's
kind
of
in
its
work
right
now
and
through
a
concept
called
next-generation
sector
partnerships.
E
Something
that's
really
increasing
in
awareness
is
the
new
essa
Choice
ready
model
and
an
emphasis
on
creating
work.
Experiences
for
all
students,
I
think
everyone
can
agree.
The
job
shadows
and
having
students
go
out
to
job
sites
is
a
tremendous
influence
on
helping
them
think
about
what
they'd
like
to
do
or
a
career
they'd
like
to
pursue,
or
maybe
not
from
that
experience.
What
we
can
see
happening
is
with
everyone
trying
to
reach
out
to
the
community
it's
becoming
a
little
saturated.
At
times
we
have
gaps.
E
Some
companies
are
getting
numerous
requests,
while
others
are
left
behind.
So
hopefully,
through
this
next
couple
years,
we're
working
to
develop
maybe
more
of
a
model
with
our
career
counselors
and
our
career
advisors,
and
we
talked
about
the
awareness
that
happens
within
our
school
and
then
exploration
that
happens
within
our
school
and
then
off
campus.
And
then
how
do
we
move
into
the
more
advanced
settings
by
juniors
and
senior
year
on
a
work,
experience,
Job,
Shadow
type
of
settings?
So
we
can
be
a
little
more
systematic
in
our
approach.
E
Here's
examples
of
in-school
work
based
experiences
when
they're
building
a
car-
that
is
a
work
experience
at
center.
We
forget
that
it's
inside
of
our
school,
what
a
tremendous
opportunity
we
have
students
running
restaurants,
we
have
students
completely
CNA
testing.
We
have
a
child
care
careers,
we
have
a
marketing
our
store.
Those
are
in-house
examples
of
work
experiences
which
make
it
a
little
seamless
and
scalable.
So
those
are
great
projects
moving
beyond
to
the
bigger
model
of
off-campus
partnerships.
E
What
we're
working
currently
with
and
dr.
Schatz
has
been
involved
in
this,
as
well
as
fuelling
the
future,
which
is
a
campaign
by
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
what
they're
working
on
is
sums
tgd
goals
across
the
cass-clay
region
and
we're
talking
about
a
variety
of
goals.
But
one
of
the
goals
that
has
been
influenced
is
this
work
experience
and
they
are
really
excited
to
work
with
us.
E
Hopefully
we
can
secure
somebody
that
will
work
specifically
with
the
schools
on
the
workforce
side,
so
they
can
develop
some
partnerships
and
then
we'll
work
on
the
school
side
for
the
systems
and
then
marry
those
two
together
right
now
our
teachers
are
trying
to
teach
set
up
job
shadows,
you
know,
have
students
go
out
to
the
job
shadows
and
that's
a
little
hectic.
So
if
we
can
have
them
secure
the
sites,
then
we'll
be
better
off
as
far
as
keeping
that
system
in
balance.
E
What
is
tremendous
in
Fargo
Public
Schools
is
the
support
that
we
do
have
that
we
do
not
even
know
about
that
happens
on
a
regular
basis,
just
from
great
teachers,
as
you
saw
before
my
presentation,
but
companies
are
willing
to
work
with
us.
You
can
see
up
on
the
upper
left-hand
corner
girls
in
engineering
NDSU,
john
deere,
klj,
Bobcat,
more
engineering.
Those
folks
are
just
invested
in
making
sure
that
day
happens
every
single
year.
E
We
have
the
metro
area
tech
camp,
where
that
is
being
supported,
case
IH
project
$25,000,
grant
to
create
project-based
learning,
girls
in
aviation
between
Hector
Airport
and
the
Jet
Center.
You
know
it
goes
on
and
on
john
deere
robotics
john
deere
has
been
a
tremendous
supporter
of
the
Robotics
League's
I.
Could
we
could
fill
this
room
with
the
partnerships
that
are
happening
ongoing
and
it
really
enriches
our
students
lives?
So
we
want
to
just
celebrate
our
community
because
they
really
care
about
what
our
education
is.
E
The
unique
experience
continues
with
our
Cass
County
partnership,
as
our
schools
continue
to
work
together
and
our
advisory
committees
are
joining
like
I
said
across
multiple,
like
our
information
technologies,
we
are
looking
at
things
in
a
regional
aspect
now
not
just
Fargo
public
schools.
So
how
can
we
scale
and
take
advantage?
And
so
that
continues
again
with
advisory
committees
as
well?
We
have
a
governing
board.
We
have
a
with
our
school
board.
Members
John
serves
for
Fargo
public
schools
on
our
governing
board,
dr.
E
Our
diesel
program,
you
know,
$150,000
worth
of
semis,
were
in
the
classroom
for
a
few
days
to
work
on
that
aviation
students
had
a
young
Eagles
flight
for
a
day
and
volunteers
brought
their
planes
in
at
at
Fargo
North
chef
Kyle
came
in
from
NDSCS
and
had
an
experience
for
the
students
and
doughnut
Island
Park
1
million
cups,
the
farthest
all
students
hosted
it
for
the
morning
one
day
for
their
entrepreneurship
experience
and
those
are
just
a
few
snapshots
of
big
venues
in
places
that
you
know.
Without
that
partnership,
our
students
would
experience
it.
E
My
motto
forever
will
be
I
think
at
this
point:
the
right
student
in
the
right
path
for
the
right
reasons,
and
how
do
we
help
our
students
figure
that
out
valuing
every
career
and
every
job
because
they
all
matter
to
us
and
so
whether
it's
two-year
four-year
military
apprenticeship?
How
do
we
help
students
be
successful
in
life
and
I'm,
proud
to
be
here
representing
a
host
of
amazing,
Career
and
Technical
Education
teachers
and
students
to
share
this
story?
E
And
we
just
really
want
to
thank
our
business
advisory
committees
and
the
members
that
step
up
and
help
us
because
they
make
it
they
make
it
happen
for
us,
and
so
it's
really
powerful.
So
as
far
as
Fargo
public
school
straight
strategic
plan.
Thank
you
for
including
us
in
this
opportunity
to
partner
and
share
our
story.
E
F
F
It's
so
exciting
these
these
programs,
when
we
talk
about
innovation
and
education,
are
really
just
yet
another
proving
ground
and
a
fertile
plot
of
soil
that
these
are
growing
from,
and
the
potential
for
these
to
shape
the
future
of
Education
in
our
community
and
be
guideposts
for
the
region
of
the
country
are
just
really
outstanding.
It's
really
really
exciting
to
see
what's
happening
with
this,
and
so
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
E
H
D
J
I
J
J
D
K
You
at
the
March
13th
board
meeting
we
approved,
making
an
offer
to
purchase
land
in
the
far
south
contingent
upon
the
results
of
the
land
study,
the
phase
1
study,
and
that
was
to
test
the
soil
and
we've
had
the
firm
go
out
and
do
that
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
was
suitable
for
future
development
that
was
conducted
by
northern
technologies.
And
in
this
memo
you
see
that
the
report
is
back
and
it
has
come
back
in
favor.
That
is
a
building
site
for
us.
K
So
the
purchase
price
of
the
land
is
1
million.
Eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
78.3
acres
and
so
I
would
move
that
we
authorize
the
administration
to
execute
the
attached
real
estate
purchase
agreement
for
1.85
million
for
78.3
acres
and
proceed
with
the
earnest
money
deposit.
There's.
I
J
J
I
J
J
I
J
I
D
Motion
passes
all
right,
moving
right
along
our
last
item.
Business
is
superintendent
contract
and
that's
exciting
good
news.
We
were
able
to
reach
agreement
as
memo
103
states
regarding
a
contract
and
moving
arrangements
with
mr.
Gandhi,
the
person
that
will
be
our
new
superintendent,
and
so
there
is
a
recommendation
here:
you'll
notice
that
mr.
Gandhi
has
signed
the
contract,
and
so
there
is
a
recommendation
here
that
we
approve
this
contract
this
evening,
as
well
as
the
relocation
agreement
and
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
that.
John
president.
F
J
J
I
J
D
F
M
O
D
L
The
I
think
everybody's
aware
of
the
fact
that
dpi
has
got
a
strategic
visioning
process
going
on
and
we
had
a
framework
committee
meeting
today,
one
about
three
hours.
They
are
trying
to
hone
in
on
what
the
vision
should
be
for
not
just
dpi,
but
all
the
stakeholders
in
North
Dakota
that
are
involved
in
education.
So
there's
a
wide
variety
of
people
involved.
L
D
P
Of
course
I
didn't
go,
so
it
was
easier
for
me
to
make
it
work,
but
I
do
encourage
you
in
future
to
consider
even
attending
for
one
day
if
you
can
make
it
work
with
your
schedule,
because
I
think
it's
valuable
and
important
information
for
us
to
understand,
as
our
district
continues
to
become
more
and
more
diverse,
the
more
that
we
understand
about
the
needs
and
diversity
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
can
and
are
already
doing
as
a
board
I
think
it's
important.
So
anyway,
all.
D
Right,
thank
you.
Everyone.
The
president's
report
is
being
passed
around,
so
some
of
the
updates
from
you
helped
to
remind
me
of
what
I've
been
doing.
I've
wanted
to
echo
Diana's
comments
regarding
building
bridges.
I
was
fortunate
to
be
able
to
attend
that
as
well
as
eggs
and
issues
last
Monday,
and
it
was
interesting
to
hear
the
presentation
from
the
three
police
chiefs
in
regard
to
the
need
for
continuing
to
address
the
mental
and
emotional
health
needs
in
our
community.
D
That
was
a
that
was
a
theme
across
the
board
and
I
attended
in
Monday
evening
over
at
Cheney
middle
school
in
West
Fargo,
a
presentation
that
was
put
together
regarding
the
funding
formula
and
it
was
and
dr.
flowers
was
involved
in
that
and
one
other
superintendent.
I
can't
I'm
not
quite
sure
where
he
was
from
dr.
Schatz
mm-hmm.
D
Are
right
about
that?
Yes,
and
so
it's
always
good
to
hear
that
presentation
over
and
over
and
over
again
legislators
were
there
and
also
some
candidates
were
there
local
legislators
and
candidates,
and
so
I
talked
with
them
afterwards
and
with
some
of
them
and
and
heard
very
good
feedback
and
I.
Just
I
think
that
it's
something
again
that's
going
to
be
able
to
be.
They
need
to
hear
it
over
and
over
again
as
well
and
and
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
the
impact
on
the
decisions
that
they're
making
in
the
legislature.
D
I
wanted
to
say:
NSBA
is
yes,
it
was
just
wonderful,
the
National
School
Boards
Association
conference
and
so
happy
for
everyone
that
was
able
to
attend
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
learning
that
we
are
being
going
to
be
able
to
bring
back
to
the
district
and
the
recommendations
from
an
SBA
that
are
at
a
high
high
level.
You
know
in
terms
of
a
lot
of
what's
going
on
federally
and
how
we
can
take
that
in
and
bring
that
here
in
regard
to
the
issues
that
are
so
important
for
our
young
young
children.
D
I
know
that,
on
the
president's
report
it
mentions,
or
though
I
think
what's
highlighted,
is
high
school
graduation,
and
so
anyone
that
has
not
spoken
with
anne-marie
yet
regarding
where
you
would
like
to
be,
please
let
her
know
right
now.
Basically
right,
there's
no
time
like
the
present
so
athletes
after
the
meeting.
That
would
be
great
if
you
would
do
that.
Okay,
does
anyone
also
have
anything
else
that
needs
to
be
added
on
this
regard?
No
okay,
I
John.
